Great service and great setting. The food was quite good, my only gripe would be that the set menu dinner time is only 1730 - 1930 which is a bit early for me. Would love to try the degustation menu one day.

This must be the most over-rated restaurant in Wellington. I went to Logan Brown on Fathers Day with the family and it was buy far the worst dining experience I've ever had. First off, the service was terrible, the waiter was very clumsy and kept dropping things all night and his body language was saying that he did not want to be at work. If you don't want to work, stay at home home or find another job where you will be happy. The food was very very average, if you're wondering about flavor...what flavor? there was barely anything on our plates to taste! I know it's A La carte but seriously...if you're going to pay a premium price at least put some decent sized portions of food on our plate. On that note if i did taste anything it was very bland. I would not recommend Logan Brown to anyone, not even my worst enemy. You'd be better off going to The White House or SOI, where they actually put something on your plate that you can taste and also somewhere where they serve you with a smile. Thanks for nothing Logan Brown =)

We went to the Wellington on a Plate event with the food and wine match last night. What a fabulous event. Steve was welcoming at the door and said we would start with a few glasses of the bubbles with oysters and tua tua fritters. Sean was shucking oysters and making it look easy. They both gave an enlightening talk on the food and wine that was to follow. The food was absolutely brilliant, thanks Sean. The wine to match was superb, What a great evening, Thanks guys.
